Fallout 76: How to use Free Cam?

Fallout 76 Free Cam is one of the most useful utility options in the game. Initially, the game did not feature a free cam option. However, with the Nuka World on Tour update, Bethesda introduced the free cam around the end of 2022. Since then, it has become a vital feature for building C.A.M.P.S in Fallout 76.

This feature is never mentioned in the game’s tutorial. So it is not surprising many players are unaware of when or how to use the Free Cam in Fallout 76. To use the cam, first open the Build Mode. Here, you can toggle the Free-Cam option. It lets you navigate through walls and reach ceilings, granting access to absurd areas that are usually impossible to reach normally.

Follow these steps for a better understanding of how you can use the Free Cam in Fallout 76

• First, open the crafting menu while you are near your base.
• Now access Build Mode.
• While in the build mode, press “V” on your keyboard or the corresponding button mentioned on your HUD beside the option “Toggle Camera” to toggle the Free Cam.

While in the Free Cam mode, your character can move vertically as well as horizontally in the space, completely free. While building your base or making structure, this mode is a godsend, and every veteran fan of the series can agree with that. Earlier, you had to create stairs or stack foundations to reach higher grounds.

Free Cam is a great tool while building in Fallout 76. But that’s not it, the game sometimes introduces special events where in certain quests you will have to use the Free Cam to navigate around your camp to complete objectives. Completing them rewards exp and other useful resources.

Players now no longer need to walk around or use absurd tactics to build in the game. The Free Cam makes the building process easier, more customizable, and an overall better experience for players. Occasional Free Cam challenges in certain events and daily challenges and the superior accessibility that the feature has introduced in the game truly make Free Cam one of the best features in Fallout 76.
